Notes from Notchcode


4.26.2006

If you can read this...

...then we've successfully installed an FTP server at notchcode.com.

What does this mean? Well, for one thing, really easy access for our staff and partners, and our clients too. People will be able to upload really large files (as in over 2 Gigabytes, if need be) rather than use those old-fashioned courier services to get things to us. And it also means we're even more savvy sysadmin/IT types than we thought.

Some notes on the new server setup:

Our webserver is running in-house (right next to where I'm typing, and on another machine) on a G4 Macintosh of a certain age...very stable and reliable. It also functions as our in-house fileserver. One of the great things about the Mac OS is that it comes with Apache webserver software already built-in and ready to run. I've tricked it out with acustomized configuration file, perl, cgi scripts, python, php, MySQL, and a few other odds and ends that we use for client site development. And for the FTP end, we're running PureFTP, which is a little BSD app that runs a GUI front-end, called PureFTP Manager, right on top of it. Once we got our routers configured, it works like a charm.
